The functions and the remote control of the R&S UPV audio analyzer are described in
detail in the operating manual which is located on the supplied documentation CD. The
quick start guide features an explanation of the general operating concept and a brief
introduction that contains step-by-step configurations for initial measurements (see
4.2 Functional Division of the Audio Analyzer
4.2.1 Instrument Concept
The audio analyzer combines the following components in a single housing:
●
Generators with analog and – with the R&S
UPV-B2 (digital audio interfaces)
option (or R&S
UPV-B20) – also digital audio interfaces for generating various test
signals,
●
Analyzers with analog and – with the R&S
UPV-B2 option (or R&S
UPV-B20) –
also digital audio interfaces for extensive measurement options and
●
a computer (PC) with the Windows XP® operating system for controlling and oper-
ating the entire instrument and with connections for peripherals and LAN.
4.2.2 Generators
4.2.2.1
Universal Generator
The universal generator consists of signal processors and generates various test sig-
nals, from sine-wave tones to intermodulation test signals (two-tone signals) to noise
signals and multi-tones. Following appropriate conversion, these signal are made avail-
able at the analog outputs.
With the R&S
UPV-B2 (digital audio interfaces) option (or R&S UPV-B20), they can
also be output as digital data streams in various formats at AES/EBU and SPDIF inter-
faces and at optical interfaces.
The R&S
UPV-B4x options, which can be installed in the expansion slots at the rear of
the instrument, provide further interfaces for outputting test signals.
The R&S
UPV-B2 (digital audio interfaces) and K21 (digital audio protocol) options can
also be used to generate digital ancillary data, such as channel status data, validity
and parity bits.
The R&S
UPV-B2 (digital audio interfaces) and K22 options allow the universal gener-
ator to be used to generate impairment signals for applying jitter or common-mode
interference to the DUT connected to AES/EBU and SPDIF interfaces.
All test signals can be output on one or two channels. The R&S
UPV-B3 hardware
option expands the R&S
UPV with a second
analog
output amplifier. This allows differ-
